<TITLE>16. Par 153-162</TITLE>L-153   And now you are His. Oh, because He is, we have the right to all that He has purchased for us. Every promise in the Bible is yours. It belongs to you, when this Token is upon you and God has sealed you. Now we want to check ourselves just for a moment. When God has give you the true baptism of the Holy Spirit, then the Life of Jesus Christ is within you. Now, that's true, and every theologian will have to admit that to be. Yes, sir. It's the new Birth. You are borned anew, of the Holy Ghost. And because that God has did this, and you know you're no good in yourself, and you accept what God has did, then He seals you into His Kingdom, by the Holy Spirit. And everything that Jesus purchased and promised you, in the Bible, is yours. It's your property because it's paid for. Amen. Life is mine; He paid for It. Life is yours; He paid for It. Healing is mine; He paid for it. Healing is yours; He paid for it. Freedom is mine; He paid for it. Heaven is mine; He paid for it. He has paid the price. Everything He purchased belongs to the man that holds the Token. Amen. "Pass My Token," upon the street car, "on that Day of the Judgment, and I'll pass over you." Amen. Holding It in! Holding your confession in the Word, that Jesus Christ has died for you. And when He does it, He displays Himself through you. Amen. Yes. When you recognize the Token, the Life that it took for the Blood to speak!

L-154   You'll say, "Blood speak? Wait a minute, Brother Branham!" The blood speaks. The Bible says it does. All right.

L-155 The Blood speaks. Remember, the covenant Blood is not recognized without the Token. Now the Word assures us of the promise. The token is the sign that the purchase has been made for us, and God has accepted it.

L-156 When you go and say, "I want a--a ride to New York City." What do they do? They give you a ticket. What is it? It's a token. It isn't money. It's a token, but it takes money to buy it.

L-157   Now, when you want Eternal Life, you receive a Token, showing that the price has been paid. It isn't the Blood, but it's the Token of the Blood. It's the Life Itself. Amen. Full obedience to the whole Word of God, to God's entire Word, will entitle you to this Token.

L-158 How do you do it? Peter said, on the Day of Pentecost, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, the Token. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

L-159   When they seen that wonderful display of the Power of a resurrection, he (Peter) got up there and quoted the Scriptures of Joel, and so forth, give the promise for that age, and showed the requirements of that age had been met in Jesus Christ, and that He had sent back a Token of His death. And that Token was upon them. And he said, "The Token is to you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call, will have to have this Token." Amen. It's not they "may ought to" have It. "They shall have It! You shall receive the Holy Ghost."

L-160   When you fully obey the Word of God, in--in full surrender to It, you're entitled to the Token. Yes, sir. Obedience! "Not he that saith, 'Lord, Lord,' but he that doeth the will." And when we pray, we must have the Token to present with our prayer.

L-161 Just exactly like we do when we go to--go to the bus station, say, "I want to ride."
"Where you going?"
"So-and-so!"

L-162 You've got to have the token, if a token is required. You must have the token. You say, "Well, wait a minute, I'm--I'm Mr. Jones! Now let..." That don't make a bit of difference, you've got to have the token. "Well, I tell you what, I--I'm in a hurry to my work. I ain't got time to fool." You'll either have the token or you won't have the token. If you don't have the token, you won't ride.
